I took another look at the plant all the butterflies and bees were on the other day, and it turns out it's Shiny Blueberry: http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/92692/

I have another sulphur getting ready to come out and Mom and I were staring it. I realized that the head of the butterfly is down by the "point" of the chrysalis. I took a picture of it upside-down so you can see it. Like the swallowtails, the "seam" down the middle is the proboscis. You can see where the two eyes are on either side of the line. The wings are wrapped around it and you can see the segments of the body near the bottom. Hopefully, it will come out tomorrow. I probably won't get to see it though as Mom and I are volunteering to clean up another park with the Tampa Bay Estuary Program. I hope we see some butterflies while we're out there!
